Richards Falls to Esposito

Kirk Brown

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On a multi-way flop of Q♦6♦4♦, Jessica Richards led for 500,000 but then Andrew Esposito moved all in, covering the table. Once it got back to Richards she made the call, putting herself at risk.

Jessica Richards: 6♣6♥
Andrew Esposito: A♦9♦

Esposito was in the lead with his flopped nut flush, but Richard's could still improve to a full house if the board paired.

Unfortunately for her, it instead came J♦2♦ and she was sent to the rail while Esposito increased his chip lead.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ravee Sundara opened to 435,000 and action folded to Adam Hendrix in the big blind who moved all in to cover. Sundara quickly called for his tournament life and the cards were on their backs.

Ravee Sundara: A♣K♥
Adam Hendrix: A♦9♣

Sundara was a big favorite to double with his superior holding, but the flop of 9♦4♦7♥ was not his friend as Hendrix took the lead with his nine. The turn J♠ did not give him any assistance, but the river K♦ sure did as he made top pair to take down the pot.

"Yes! Thank you, sir! Thank you for the double!" Sundara celebrated as he raked in the pot.

Ravee Sundara: 10♣10♦

The board ran out 4♦5♥6♥3♦9♠ to give the pot to Sundara and Van was eliminated in 18th place.

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Moyer and Spencer Champlin got all of the chips into the middle before the flop, with Moyer at risk.

Michael Moyer: 2♥2♠
Spencer Champlin: 7♦7♣

Moyer would need a lot of help to stay alive, but the runout of A♦6♥4♥3♠J♦ did him no favors and he was eliminated in 17th place.

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On a flop of J♥A♦8♥, Cedrric 'Poker Traveler' Trevino led for 200,000 and was called by Charles Sinn to see the 10♦ on the turn.

Trevino then fired again, this time for 600,000, and Sinn called once more.

When the river fell the 8♠, Trevino decided to check, and then Sinn announced he was all in. After some time in the tank, Trevino slid his cards to the dealer and later admitted he just had queen-high.
